UNPLACED FRAGMENTS

There are extant about a dozen fragments of whose place in the Twelve

Tables we are ignorant. In nearly every instance these fragments

consist of only one word or phrase, which later Latin antiquarians

have preserved to illustrate an ancient spelling or to explain an

archaic usage or to point a definition.

The longest fragment only is worth reproduction for the present

purpose: To appeal from any judgement (_inuicium_) and sentence

(_poena_) is allowed.[75]
